Eggs Benedict, Quiche Lorraine, French Toast, Omelettes, Mimosas…Easter Brunch is a wonderful springtime tradition! While hosting your own Easter celebration is a very special experience, sometimes it’s nice to hang up the apron and indulge in a relaxing Sunday morning of allowing others to serve YOU! The Dallas/Fort Worth area is ripe with delicious spots to celebrate Easter over a fine meal with your loved ones. Call in advance to make reservations, as many people will be descending upon the same places on Easter Sunday, April 5th, around Brunch time (typically 10am-2pm).
